Blount county, in 1916, the Nashville
female academy. So unequivocal was
the language Of these charters that the
admission Of boys vitiated them. The
precedence in date, less even than the
language, shows the difference in Ten
nessee and Massachusetts in which fe-
male education was held.
This civilization then here in the
woods OF Tennessee was older than the
civilization then in Massachusetts,. This
last was the growth Of collusions among
themselves and conflicts with the In
dians; the former the growth Of collus-
ions among the greatest minds of the
age and conflicts in bloody revolrt:ons.
as to religion and political rights great

since have shaken the British Isles.
A few more paragraphs in my next
pointing out the difference in these
two States, specially in the relation Of
the sexes, and am done. The reader
will see have intended only to sug-
gest what could be said on this theme,
so interesting and so important, seeing
the history Of ante-bellum Tennessee
with its ended personalities and accom-
plished facts, must soon go into text
book, for the use of the children of the
State. @. ID. ELLIOTT.
THE following clear and unimpas-
stoned article from our Franklin ex-
change will commend itself TO all
reasonable men. There is no effort on
the part OF our contemporary to mis-
state facts nor arrive at hasty conclu-
sions. In more tragic manner the
Review might have applied to Gov.
Taylor the words OF Brutus ON the kill
ing OF Caesar;
"There is tears for his love;
Joy for his fortune;
Honor for his valor,
And death for his ambition"
GOVERNOR RoBT. L. TAYLOR.
The Review and Journal has as far
as seemed consistent with its duty to
Democracy, refrained from taking any
part in the controversy over Gov. Tay
lor, but, that we do not indorse his
course we presume is not doubted by
any of our readers. 1t has been more
\ matter OF modification and chagrin
to us, that the Governor has not been
true to the party which elevated him
from pension agent to Governor, than
otherwise. That he denounced the
Blair bill bill issue from one end OF the
State to the other, we presume his best
friends will not deny. The dodge that
he now takes in saying that he for
Federal Aid" as distinguished from
the Blair bill, is as "tweedledum to
tweedleedee." !" No living man can
draw the distinction, and Governor
Taylor viii find out, sooner or later,
that the best and only way to retain the
confidence OF the people is to perform
to the letter all personal and party
pledges. In his case the people have
been patient, not to quick to censure,
but hoped to the last that the Governor
would see the error Of his way and re-
trace his steps. OF this they have de.
SPARED, and the condemnation of his
course seems universal.
His trouble was in the race for U. s
Senate. The people had placed in his
{ hands public trust. TO be Governor
+ OF Tennessee ought to have satisfied the
ambition OF any young man, but it did
not seem to satisfy Gov. Taylor, for he
, was known to be candidate all the
r while before the legislature until the
caucus nomination was made, thus
,, showing disposition to throw down
the trust the people had placed in his
; hands, only to crafty his own ambl
, ton. Being defeated in this he seems
to have gone on from bad to worse, un.
